Hi,

here is a small program. when, when i am debugging, <and analyzing
core> it shows me All e replaced by \e <Correction, I doubt Not All e,
but some e.> here is the sample program and output.

Is this gdb Bug ? <on AIX>
<please note : i am unable to check this on latest version of gdb.>

bash-3.00$ cat test.c
#include<stdio.h>
#include<memory.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<unistd.h>
int main ()
{
char *some_array="mera naam raxit hain, these are more eeeeeee";
printf("\n Just printing Array Whroooooooom =  %s",some_array);
memcpy(0x0,0x0,10000);/* Intentional */
sleep(10);
printf("Run Successfully...Buggy ");
return 0;
}

bash-3.00$ gcc -v

(gdb) quit
The program is running.  Exit anyway? (y or n) y

Any Idea, ?
